The TEX16 is designed with the same architecture as the FAA-certified True Blue Power battery products, according to company officials. The 16 Ah (amp-hour) battery, which features A123 Nanophosphate lithium-ion chemistry, weighs 15.6 pounds — a 45% weight savings — when compared to older, lead-acid or nickel-cadmium (NiCad) alternatives.

The TEX16 features a built-in charger, ensuring it is compatible with many existing aircraft.
